shovvre in Fig.- l f and '2 consists a. hee a n ch 15 extendingpartially under the merchandise to engage the same. A container .16 forreceiving a plurality of the packages 8 is secured to the holding memberso that the container and holding member both may be removed bodily fromthe casing at will, to be refilled and returned to the casing wheneverthe occasion demands.

Extending from the front of the stationary frame member 7 are flangedprojections 18 between which is formed an opening 19 through the web ofthe frame to permit rotation of a delivery member mounted on a shaft 20journaled in the projections 18. The delivery member consists of ahollow cylindrical portion 21 having mounted on each end thereofcarrying members 22with openings-23 formed therein for receivingprojections 24 .carried by the cylindrical member. The projections areadapted to extend through the openings 23 and are hammered down on theouter face of the carrying members to hold the same rigid upon thecylindrical member. The carrying members are shownrectangular in formwith equal sides and at the corners of the members are providedprojections 25 forming therebetween' recesses 26 for receiving andholding ready for dehivery the packages "8 as shownlinFig. 1. One 'ofthecarrying members is provided with outwardly extending pins 27equidistant from the center of the'member and positioned in the cornersof the rectangular portion thereof and adapted to be engaged by an ac.-tuator 28 fo-rithe purpose ofrotating the delivery member to delivermerchandise through the'chute Lin a manner which will presently bedescribed. "The actuator 28 is positioned in the back and at one'side ofthe channel like frame member and is formed of two flangemembers'29 and30positioned at right angles to each other as shown in Figs. 3 and 4.The'actuatoris held in sliding engagement with the frame '7 by means ofdepressed'guides 31 fo-rmed in a flange 32 of the frame 'and adapted .toengage the flange 30 "of the actuator. The flange 29 of the actuator isguided by a rearwardly extending member 33 "carried by the frame whichmember also serves the purpose of holding the actuator in position uponthe frame. The actuator is provided with a notch or cut 3'4c-positionedat the juncture of thefianges 29 and 30 and extending into-each flange;a'short distance to receive the pins 27of'the delivery member as thelatter is rotated in the discharge yof .merchandise from the machine.Connecting with the cut 34" in the flange 30 of the actuator is. a slot35 adapted to "receive theend '36 of alever 37 ,pivotedfat -38 to'theilange '29 'of the actuator.

A. nuttE) isscrewed on the threaded end of the axle;

tfl against the back of the supporting inember 48 to hold the carrier inposition. handle 50 mounted on a disk 51 from which extends a shaft 52passing through the axle 16 is provided as shown in Fig. l for operatingthe carrier 45 either to discharge a check or coin into the machine forsecuring merchandise therefrom or to return any 1mproper medium to theoperator which fails to permit the carrier to be operated through itsfull stroke under normal conditions. In providing m chanism designed toect improper checks or coins it is of course necessary to construct themechanism in such a way that the same will determine whether theinserted medium is of the proper and exact thickness desired as wellasthe actual predetermined diameter and true circular form necessary tooperate the machine as constructed. lttwill be understood that inaccomplishing this result the check or coin positioning members mustdetermine thefi validity of the inserted medium before the same hasreached a pointin the carrier from whence it can not be returned,otherwisethe machine would become inoperative and useless after theinsertion of any check or coin not intended for use therein. Indesigning the mechanism necessary to embody these improvements the checkcarrier is provided with a substantially semicircular plate like member53 to which is attached. a.holding plate 5st of the same general shapeas" ing the outer wall of the recess as'shown in Fig 1.. The recess 58extends entirely :through the carrier in orderv to receive-a checkejecting slide 59 positioned. therein with l spac'ei' left iat Tthe' topthereof of sufi'is crent. :depth' .to Cneatly': accommodate a check oreoinifor operating them aehinei .A .groove;

Aslot 62 is formed in the center of the'sl'ide to permit of the propermovement of the slide with respect tethe' aXle46. One side of the checkeject- 7 ing slide is beveled as shown at 63 to slidingly engage abeveled wall 64 forming one of the sides of "the check receiving recess,said beveled wall actingas a means'for assisting in determining theproper thickness of a check forioperating the machine as will be: morefully pointedout hereinafter. "The slide is provided with an arm'65'carrying at the outer end thereof a projecting pin. 66 adapted tobeengaged'by a? segmental extension 67 of an'operating member 6 8 mount edon the axle 46 between'the mounting plate 47 and-the' 'holding plate 54.TheoperatingZ-niember. 68 'is' provided I with an 'aper-' ture;69adapted to receive a-pin70carried by ft'he'disk fil oft-hehandle 50 sothat when the handle is turned to the left the operating member willlikewise turn and'the segmen'--- taliextension engaging the pini66 willmove upwardly and lift vtheiejectingslide to"r'e-.

A similar 'lug 73 is mounted on the carriei' and a shaft 7 4 ispassed through the lugs/and helldthe'reon.

A washer 75 is'mounted on the shaft and restsagainst the 'proj e'cti'0n7-1:-- "A spring 76 is mounted on the shaft between the lug 7 3 andtheWasher 75 so that when thecheck" e ector is'movled upwardly theprojection .71

In this figure the backedge ofthe-" check 91 'at oneside thereof is shown engaging the bev led'waii ts 'of the recess :38 and at: the opposite edge of the check restson thereduced-portion 92 at the bottom of a tapered portion 93fintegralwith the reduced portion:film-positioning member 'is holds ing 't echeck against the rear fac eeofithe' holding plate 54- and since thecheck "is {of proper"thickness 'thelockingmember 80 is held in a iixed'position and out of line with the-ahutmentSS and free to pass the innersurface of the mounting plate 4:7. 'Also the reduced portion 92 issimilarly held with I respect to the face 90 tor'the reason that thetapered portion 1 93 has engaged the rear of the check and prevented anyfurther outward" movement of the positioning member so that {withfthepositioning'and locking members held in the positions shown in Fig.10*the carrier is free to turn to'the right tolater; discharge the"check into the macliine. {If the checkin FigQlOWQIeOf smaller diameter1i than shown though .of proper I thickness it can" readily: be seeni;thatx the spring n oulld aorce the taper portionwsagainst the checkuntil the same moved over to engage the beveled wall 64, if the carrierwere moved from its normal position and that in so doing the reduced end92 would engage the abutment 88 and prevent further operation of thecarrier. Likewise if the check were of proper diameter but of lessthickness than shown the spring 82 would force the positioning member 85and locking member 80, and positioning member 81 outwardly as thecarrier moved forward, the ends of the locking member 80 and positioningmember 81 moving on the inclined member 89 until they engaged theabutment 88 and locked the carrier against further movement. In thiscase the tapered portion 93 of the positioning member 81 would engagethe edge of the check of less thickness and force the same over until ittouched the beveled wall 64 at a point nearer the holding plate 54 thanshown in Fig. 10, thus allowing the positioning member to .be forcedoutwardly to engage the abutment'as the carrier moved to the right. Alsoif the check shown in Fig. 10 constituted a disk having a hole throughthe center thereof it will readily be seen that the positioning member85 would be free to extend through the disk and into an aperture 94formed in the holding plate 54 thus permitting the outer end of thelocking member 80 to travel on the inclined member 89 to engage theabutment 88 as the-carrier moves forward. The side of the springcontaining member 78 carrying the spring 82 is adapted to be opened onthe end to permit of the insertion therein of the locking andpositioning members 80 and 85 and the spring 82 and is closed by a plate95 held in position by a screw 96.

It is highly important that at the end of the operation of the checkcarrier, means be rovided for positively discharging the check from thecarrier and for this purpose I provide means for moving the ejectingslide relatively to the carrier at the end of the latters movement. Thisis accomplished by providing a stationary projection 97 on the mountingplate 47 and arranged in such .a position as to engage the pin 66 of theejecting slide arm when the carrier has moved the proper distance. Theprojection 97 engaging the pin 66 serves to hold the ejecting slideagainst further rotative movement'and as the carrier continues to theendof its turning movement the slide begins to pivotally move with respectto the projection 97 through the medium of the pin 66, thus moving theslide outwardly in there- 'cess v58 untilit reaches the position shownin Fig. 9 to force the check from the carrier.

Itis possible in some instances for an improper check inserted in therecess 58 to hold theilocking and positioning members in thexsaimemelationship to theiabutment .88 as a proper check or coin woulddo, thus allowing' the carrier to rotate .past the locking point. Acheck with a correct diameterzand thickness but having a portion :of itsperiphery cut away to form a fiat edge would serve to permit of suchmovement and in order to avoid the possibility of the machines .be-

ing successfullyoperated by a check of this The locking member 98 isnormally held in the position shownin Figs. 6 and 7 by :a

spring 101 wound on the post 56 betweenupper and lower flanges 102 ofthe controlling member 99, the bottom end -.of the spring being hookedover one side of the mounting plate 47 and theatopend engaging theportion of the member 99 connecting the flanges 102. The controllingmember '99 :is provided with an arm 103 carrying a projection 104extending through an opening 105 in the mounting plate 47, said opening,

being large enough to permit of a limited amount of movement of theprojection 104 therein. Mounted on the carrier is a pin 106 projectingtherefrom which isintended to lock with a shoulder 107 of'the lockingmember 98 to prevent :the successful operation of the machine with animproper check after the lockingpins have passed the stationary abutment88; a stop 108 being provided on the mounting plate 47 to retain theimproper check within the carrier until the pin 106 engages the shoulder107 of the locking member 98. In a case of this kind the-locking memberwould remainstationary as the lower end of the check ejecting slidewould-not IHOVB'thB projection 104 to actuate the lockingmember :for thereason that the depth or diameter of the flat sided check, plus thelengthof the check ejecting slide would be less, or nomore than equal tothe distance between the stop 108 and the projection 104, so that there.would be no force acting on-the projection 104 to impart motion to the.locking member 98. Thus the carrier would be freeto turn until the pin106 engagedthe shoulder 107 of the looking member which engagementwould'restrict further movement of the carrier to. discharge the check.However, the carrier would be free to be thrown back to itsnormalposition to allow .the improper check tobe returned to .the operator ina manner 1 d previously ,eX- p a1ne .As a means. tor -preventing theturning-of 113.0

.shown in Fig. 7, further .movementof the 62111161 to discharge thecheck into the ma- 10' chine would be successful, since the diameter ofsuch a check, plus the length of the check ejecting slidewouldbevgreater than the distance between the stop 108 andlthe normalposition of the projection 10% in the opening 105. Therefore, with thecarrier in 11161308111011 as shown 1nF1g. 7, 1f the operator continuesto'turn the handle 50 vto the right-therounded lower endof the checkejecting slide will force'the projection 10% in the opening 105 awayfrom its normal position against the pressure ofthe spring 101 and willmove the locking member and the shoulder 107 thereon out ofthe path ofthe pin 106 to allow the carrier to continue in its forward movementuntil the coin is discharged into the machine, the pin 66 of the arm 65engaging the projection 97 by the time the check in the carrier haspassed the stop 10S, thereby moving the slide with respect to thecarrier'to positively eject the cheolpfromthe carried into the machine,such movement continuinguntil the ejecting slide reaches the positionshown in Fig. 9. lVith the slide inthis position the spring 76 will havebeen compressed considerably by v the movement of theprojection 71 onthe slide and as soon as the check has been ejected the spring willreturn-the slide to its normalposition with respect to the carr1er.

In order to insure a complete movement of the'carrier after the pin 106thereon has passed the shoulder 107 of the locking member 98, I providea series of notches 110 on a portion ofthe periphery of the carrier andcooperating therewith is a reversible pawl 111 movably mounted on thepost 55 and controlled by a'spring 112 having one end positioned througha projection 113 on the pawl and the other end fastened to the frame 7in the manner shown in Fig. 3.

As a means for partially supporting and bracing the frame 7 and partsmounted thereon, I provide a supporting rod 11 secured to the sides 3 ofthe casing and adapted to engage the projecting flanges 18 of the frame7 within-notches 115, as shown in Fig. 1.

In order to insure the return of the carrier 45, the actuator 28 and theparts mounted thereon to their normal position after the machine hasbeen operated, a spring 116 is provided having one end secured to astationary projection 117 at the bottom of the frame 7 and the other endsecured to a pro- -je'ction '11;8..at@ the top of theflange. 29 oftheactuator, sogthat.;whenthe actuator is elevated by turning the handle50, tension will beimparted to the spring to pullthe vactuator down assoon as the handle is released, thereby rotating the carrier back-.wardlythrough the medium ofthe teeth of the gear segment mounted on thecarrierand the openings 41in the actuator for receiving thelteeth asshown in Fig. -ILc1aim as-my invention; 7 u '1.
